On the rehoming of dogs, is Dogs Trust directly involved? Does Ms Bristow have figures on rehoming for the last couple of years? Have the numbers being rehomed increased significantly in recent years? To go back to a point made by Senator Boyhan earlier, if Dogs Trust had extra resources, would it be able to get more dogs rehomed? If Dogs Trust is involved in this rehoming, could Ms Bristow tell me whether those dogs are being rehomed in Ireland or if they are being exported to be rehomed? If I caught her correctly - and the sound quality on these Zoom calls is not always perfect - I believe Ms Bristow said that there were 100 breeding establishments in the country. Is that correct?
